Asha for Education Announces

Work An Hour 2009

Welcome to Work An Hour (WAH) 2009.

A year has passed since WAH 2008 and it is that time of the year when we encourage our donors to contribute an hour of their time’s worth to Asha. WAH was recently featured on CNN’s “Impact Your World”; see for yourself how your donations go a long way with Asha. In the past, your generosity has transformed the lives of thousands of children. This year over 7000 children from 15 different projects will benefit from your efforts and we hope for your active support.

Last year we witnessed India’s continuous march towards development. In order to reap the full benefits of the country’s progress, it is imperative to include every section of the society. Aristotle once said, “All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of nations depends on the education of youth”. India can realize it’s true potential and fulfill the dreams of millions; it starts with educating every child, one child at a time.

We want to catalyze socio-economic change in India through education of underprivileged children. We, at Asha for Education, are committed to ensure that 100% of your donations serves the purpose. Please join us in our efforts!

Asha for Education is a fully volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit with 50+ chapters around the world whose mission is to catalyze socio-economic change in India through the education of underprivileged children. Click here for more details about us.
